Abstract

Objectives

This scoping review examined factors contributing to burnout among prelicensure nursing faculty, with a focus on student-related and workforce influences.

Design

Scoping review guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s framework and reported using PRISMA-ScR guidelines.

Data Sources

A comprehensive search of CINAHL, PubMed, and ERIC was conducted for peer-reviewed studies published between 2010 and 2025.

Review Methods

Studies addressing faculty burnout, workload, student-related challenges, or institutional contributors in prelicensure nursing education were included. A total of 33 studies met the inclusion criteria. Data were charted and analyzed using narrative synthesis.

Results

Four themes were identified: student mental health and behavioral factors, faculty emotional labor and role expansion, workforce and institutional contributors, and burnout-related outcomes, including job satisfaction and intent to leave. Burnout was driven by both workload demands and pressures related to student support.

Conclusions

Burnout among prelicensure nursing faculty is multifactorial and requires strategies that address both student needs and faculty well-being.

护理教师的职业倦怠：学生和劳动力因素的范围审查

目的：本综述研究了护理教师职业倦怠的影响因素，重点关注学生相关和劳动力的影响。设计范围审查由Arksey和O 'Malley的框架指导，并使用PRISMA-ScR指南进行报告。数据来源对2010年至2025年间发表的同行评议研究进行了CINAHL、PubMed和ERIC的综合搜索。综述方法纳入了针对教师职业倦怠、工作量、学生相关挑战或执照前护理教育机构贡献者的研究。共有33项研究符合纳入标准。使用叙事综合法对数据进行制图和分析。结果确定了四个主题：学生心理健康和行为因素，教师情绪劳动和角色扩展，劳动力和机构贡献者，以及倦怠相关结果，包括工作满意度和离职意向。职业倦怠是由工作量需求和与学生支持相关的压力共同驱动的。结论护理教师职业倦怠是多因素的，需要兼顾学生需求和教师幸福感的策略。
